That the Olympic Games have finished, and the TV interviewers and presenters will no longer be asking competitors that stupid question. Has it sunk in yet? Surely the most banal question ever.

Do you miss Michael "Eddie" Edwards aka "Eddie the Eagle"????

He was always missing from the Summer Olympics.

Eddie was a ski jumper in the Winter Olympics. He may not have been the best but at least he had a go.

I know he was in Winters Olympics I was making a joke

Winters hosted the Olympics?

Too right , Dennis. I thought the London Games were the worst for press/media behaviour...kids who have worked hard and qualified to compete against the best in the world, and they miss out by less than 1/1000th of a second, because their swimming rivals' fingers are 1mm longer - And the best the Oz press could do was ask how did it feel to fail?

Well most times when i did tune into the Beeb they were either doing an interview or talking in their studio with Rio in the background but i suppose it's no differant of any sports the BBC cover,

i was going to make a complaint to them but i knew it would be a waste of time, why could'nt they have brought back BBC3 for an extra channel, that may have helped being able to see more of the sports going on, the Red button was a waist of time!!
Oh well

Being blissfully televisionless, I didn't see any of it. A huge well-done to all our boys and girls, however. The fact that we beat China into third on the medal table really hasn't sunk in yet.

Quite honestly I am glad it is all over ........Ummm nope ........Hang on a minute .......the Paralympics soon Sorry but I get fed up of it all being thrust down our throats, I know it is only every 4 years but there should be a seperate channel for sports including football after all we do pay the BBC enough in licence fees.

Don't mean to disrespect sport on the whole far from it but.....when they use the word 'heroes' to describe these sporting personalities and their fine efforts I find it a tad over the top. Some of them earn more money through sponsorship and advertising than we will in a life-time then will end up with awards or even knighthoods

Could go on but for the time being...........
